On 1st October Warner Home Video will debut Wolfgang Petersen's all-new, unrated version of his epic film TROY. With 30 minutes of new footage, TROY: DIRECTOR'S CUT, including special features from its first DVD release, will be available in collectible O-sleeve packaging.
"The raw power of Homer, the sex, the brutality and the uncompromising battles really come to life in this version," says Petersen. "We went back to the way I first envisioned the film, when the full energy and impact of each scene had time to play out. Now, with great new visuals and sound design, audiences are going to have a deeper emotional experience of this literary
classic. Thanks to Warner Home Video for giving me the opportunity to restore the creative integrity of my original vision."
Oscar® nominee Brad Pitt brings a dynamic, brooding presence to the role of Greek warrior Achilles in this spectacular retelling of The Iliad. |
Orlando Bloom and Diane Kruger play the legendary lovers who plunge the world into war, Eric Bana portrays the prince who dares to confront Achilles and Peter O'Toole rules Troy as King Priam. Director Wolfgang Petersen recreates a long-ago world of warship flotillas, clashing armies, a massive fortress city and the towering Trojan Horse. Also starring are Brian Cox, Sean Bean and Brendan Gleeson.
